UCLA Powerlifting Invitational. Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011.

****(I rested the week before the meet, however I also did not lift for a full week ~3 weeks before the meet as well [due to the week of Thanksgiving] and I believe this threw off my strength peaking cycle and undermined my performance at this meet)****

**WEIGH-IN: 63.9 kg (or 140.9 lbs)**

... [Good Lift with 3 white lights, very tough, RPE @10]
-3rd Attempt: 117.5 kg (or 259 lbs)

-2nd Attempt: 170 kg (or 374.75 lbs)

-3rd Attempt: 170 kg (or 374.75 lbs)
... [No Lift with 3 red lights, got most of the way up but could not get my hips through to lock it out]

**JUDGE'S TOTAL: 327.5 kg (or 722 lbs)**

** MY "WISH TOTAL" (if the second bench attempt & second deadlift attempt were counted as good lifts): 352.5 kg (or 777 lbs) **

--> (my "wish total" is 55 lbs more than the judge's total but still 23 lbs less than my previous [accumulated] PR's total of 800 lbs) ... (previous PR's were 255 squat, 180 bench, 365 deadlift ... meet "wish" lifts 236 squat, 165 bench, 374 deadlift) ... (and my optimum accumulated total [counting a 255 squat, 180 bench, and 374 deadlift] would be 809 lbs).
